Winter melts 
         &seeps
 deep below
     permeates
 cathedrals with snow

in spate 
      nature's blood

        in flood 

in moorland
 gorse
       new springs 
become 
           a tumbling 
source
a babbling burn
 in 
feathered 
         ferns
 to riverine
        unseen

a stream
 of 
    freshwater
 clean
in rivers
      soil silts 
against 
        sloping banks &
 the current slows 
into 
eddys
    where fat chubb doze

deeper waters
                  then 
running free
    winding slowly 
to 
  the sea
